Elypse

This is such a hard game to describe, it's one that I both like and dislike at the same time, as it had good moments, but also had bad design choices The reason for this, is that it is not your typical precision platformer controls, they feel really bad at start but then you do kind of get used to them Saying that, I still think they are a fundamental intentional design flaw, and here's why Let's start with the obvious, the jump is horrendous, I am a bit harsh, but it takes a millisecond to reach max height and ages to descent, as if you had wings with a thruster This jump curve is such a weird decision, and it had to be intentional, as it is harder to program then a regular jump, being the same time both to jump and fall And this is just one of many odd choices the developers did in this game, and I think it just made it super frustrating and hard to control The second issue is speed, every control sends you flying 10 kilometers to given direction, walking, dashing, and jumping So for dashing, which is my main issue, you will dash the distance equivalent to 50% of your screen, instantaneously It is absurdly hard to control, and you end up having to take more space than necessary to get through most of the obstacles And you're given almost no time to direct the dash, as you don't have Ori's pause when aiming, you just have to be quick and pray And as for dying, you'll die a lot, as with the game's fast pace it just is granted that you retry a section over and over again until you get it Enemies and projectiles are the one centric reason for 90% of my deaths, mostly because of the homing projectiles and the small spikes And bosses here are fun except the fact that you die in one hit, so it's also adding to the constant cycle of repeating a section and correcting yourself for every new attack And yet despite this review being all mostly negative and critical, I still recommend the game, why? Because I enjoy pain, and because I think it has great art, music, and decent story, to go with platforming sections that are just hell, but so rewarding when you do them So if you enjoy this challenge, this is such a great hidden gem when bought on sale, but use this review to know what you're getting into

It's a short quality game, well worth it if you grabbed it on a sale. The graphics fit the theme, as for controls, I would recommend using a controller for a more smooth experience. Level design is alright, while the game treats you as a fragile porcelain doll who breaks in one touch, it is however lenient in how easily you can get back to where you got done in. There exist a place or two in the game which require extreme precision which isn't easily obtained with the controller, but if you figure out the gist of it, you can still get past it, enemies are designed alright. I do wish there would exist a sequel though as it feels like we are ending on a massive cliff hanger (you will get the pun). The game is pretty much a platformer, short but with smooth movement, which require precision, you will not survive, but that is okay.

画面优美，音乐一般，剧情没怎么看； 冲刺流畅，跳跃很轻盈，蹬墙跳很恶心；攻击手段只有射箭，射箭要靠冲刺填充，射箭还要自己对准怪，游戏里给的辅助瞄准是几个意思？怪都到脸上了都能射歪； 追赶逃亡路上还放小怪是几个意思？阴不阴啊；视角还不能向下向上看，在跳跃过程中不是被小怪阴死就是被地形阴死，小怪还是追踪型；总能在出其不意的地方放些小怪增加难度。 主角一击毙命，打boss也是如此，boss最后一个比较难； 全程高难度跳跳乐，比较善良的一点是存档点多，爱吃苦爱受虐爱跳跳乐的可以玩。玩完这个游戏都对跳跳乐有阴影了，手都给我干抽筋了。

В меру сложная платформинговая игрушка, 1-hit вместе с неприятными чекпоинтами поджигает вашу пятую точку xD Серия dash-ей ощущается приятно. Неточность наказывается, но по большей части - прощается игроку. (первая игра для меня с подобной механикой only dash) Линейная, Короткая. Описание преувеличено, Лора мало. Красивое начало, вкусные бэкграунды, хороший финальный босс. Любите такое - берите. А если не любите или есть сомнения - особо ничего не потеряете

Recommended, but with reservations. Elypse is serviceable for what it's trying to be, it just feels underbaked. The core dash mechanic does actually feel pretty good, but the game does not really utilize it in interesting ways, and moreover kinda restricts itself from getting full use out of it largely due to its poorly designed camera for such a heavily movement-focused ability. It doesn't provide enough of a view ahead of you (especially downwards), so platforming can often feel like guesswork because you can't actually see what you're dashing into. Difficulty-wise, the game isn't actually too hard, it's mostly just increased due to this issue. The strongest point of the game for me was its combat, which feels like where the dash-shoot balance actually feels interesting. But its one-hit-kill system makes the combat feel more punishing than it needs to be and restricts the ability to make encounters actually interesting; the bosses often become trial-and-error rush attempts until you learn what their pattern is. The final boss in particular is, while actually a pretty good fight overall, is also made worse by some bad visual choices. The camera is especially zoomed out to capture the full field, but it makes it easy to lose your character amongst the chaos, which isn't helped by the fight largely sticking to a strictly red palette. There's a few other weird choices with the game as well that contribute to it feeling incomplete. There's an EXP and shop mechanic that is basically pointless due to you getting all the upgrades naturally well before the end of the game, and a good number of those upgrades also just feel kinda there to check the box for an upgrade mechanic.

I went into this expecting a fun exploration platformer with satisfying movement mechanics. Instead, it felt more like a Flash game than a polished experience. The movement system has potential, but the execution is rough. Chaining jumps doesn't feel intuitive, and your character loses all momentum the moment a jump ends, making platforming feel clunky and frustrating. Maybe it improves later, but the opening hours didn't make me want to stick around. The weapon knockback is also excessive. I died multiple times simply because firing pushed me into hazards. I also ran into what seems like a bug where my weapon would occasionally refuse to fire while I was mid-air, even though I still had a charge available. I kept thinking I had mistimed my input, but my second click simply wasn't registering. It's especially frustrating after finishing a difficult platforming section and trying to clear an enemy before landing. Instead, I had to drop down, refresh my jumps, and jump again just to kill it. Checkpoint placement is another major issue. Every death sends you back to fixed checkpoints, forcing you to replay platforming sections you've already cleared. That might work for boss fights, but it's just tedious during traversal. Finally, the camera is terrible. You often have to platform blindly because you can't see what's ahead until it's too late. A slightly more zoomed-out camera or a look up/down feature that actually showed more (not the current) of the level would have made a huge difference. Overall, the game has some interesting ideas, but the frustrating movement, poor camera, repetitive checkpoint system, and apparent input bug made it impossible for me to enjoy.
